hello and welcome to the show I'm Koy
this is CNN 10 the best 10 minutes in
news because of you it's Wednesday May
8th I'm looking forward to using one of
your vocab words in today's show lots of
Stellar submissions so thank you for
boosting our vocabulary first up we
start in Israel where the country's
military known as the Israel Defense
Forces or IDF has taken control of the
Palestinian side of the Rafa crossing
that's a key point of entry for Aid
coming into Gaza it's located on the
border with Egypt the assault began
overnight on Tuesday with Israeli air
strikes on Rafa medical officials there
say 23 people were killed soon after the
IDF rolled tanks into the area replacing
Palestinian flags with Israeli Flags
this new offensive comes as ceasefire
negot negotiations between Israel and
the terror organization Hamas which runs
Gaza have hit a snag Hamas has agreed to
a deal that would require them to
release 33 Israeli hostages taken during
its October 7th assault on Israel in
exchange Israel would release hundreds
of Palestinian prisoners and pause the
war for an indefinite period to allow
for the rebuilding of Gaza so far Israel
has rejected the deal the UN Secretary
General is urging both sides to to keep
talking it would be tragic if weeks of
intense diplomatic activity for peace in
Gaza yield no CE fire no release of
hostages and a devastating offensive in
Rafa I reiterate my appeal for both
parties to show the political courage
and spare no effort to secure an
agreement now to stop the Bloodshed to
free the hostages and to help stabilize
a Legion which is still at risk of
explosion before moving into Rafa on
Tuesday Israel warned residents to
evacuate but earlier in the war Israel
had told Palestinians in Northern Gaza
to flee South towards that City so this
new offens of is leaving people who
originally fled to Rafa in dire
circumstances with few options on where
to go next we head to Oklahoma where
giant hail hurricane force winds and
devastating tornadoes tore through parts
of the state Monday night killing at
least one person and injuring multiple
others tornadoes and inclement weather
also causing considerable damage in
Missouri and Tennessee the residents of
barnesdale Oklahoma are all too familiar
with this kind of Destruction This
Tornado was the second in a little over
a month to hit the small city with a
population of about 1,000 people CNN's
Lucy kavanov is on the ground to show us
the damage up close behind me a
residential home the parts that were
built out of Stone still sort of
standing but a lot of this no longer Li
livable the family will have to find
another place to live as we walk over
here this was a garage structure that
also was a part of this property and um
that tornado the Direct Hit here
flattening this structure I don't know
if you could see it um behind me but
over there is a pickup truck it just
gives you a sense of the scale of this
destruction this region is not yet out
of the woods millions in the midwest are
still at risk of strong tornadoes
ripping through the area and millions
more are vulnerable to damaging storms
Boeing's Starliner needs a doover we
told you earlier this week that the new
spacecraft was supposed to take off
Monday night with astronauts on board
for the first time but shortly before
launch there was an issue with the
rocket that propels the capsule into
space CNN's Kristen fiser explains what
happened about 2 hours before lifting
off with two NASA astronauts Sunny
Williams and Butch Wilmore on top inside
that Starliner spacecraft the ground
teams discovered an issue with a oxygen
relief valve on the second stage of the
atlas 5 rocket this is a valve that
essentially releases some pressure from
the oxygen the liquid oxygen uh that's
building up in the tank uh liquid oxygen
is one of the propellants that fuels the
at 5 into space and so the United launch
Alliance says this is typically a pretty
minor issue that they've experienced
before they know how to troubleshoot if
it had only been uh a payload on top a
nonhuman payload Like Satellites or
something like that um they would have
gone ahead and launched they say that
those satellites would already be up in
space now but because this was the first
time that they actually had people on
top the first crude test flight of
Boeing Starliner spacecraft they decided
at of an abundance of caution to hold
off NASA and Boeing may try for another
launch on Friday when it does take off
the spacecraft is headed to the
International Space Station where it
will spend about a week before coming
home NASA is welcoming a second company
with which it can partner on missions to
the ISS SpaceX has already been flying
astronauts there since 2020 in South
Africa rescue operations are underway in
the city of George after a multi-story
building collapse left dozens of people
trapped under debris
rescue teams are working quickly to save
as many people as possible at least 26
people have been pulled from the rubble
but dozens more are missing and at least
six people have been killed South
Africa's president is offering his
condolences to families who lost their
loved ones he's also launching an
investigation into the cause of the
collapse in order to help prevent
something like this from happening in
the
future 10c trivia which of these
countries has the largest population in
the world the United States India China
or
Nigeria if you said India then indiaia
with more than 1.4 billion people the
South Asian Nation edged out China last
year as the world's most populous
country according to the UN India the
most populous country has nearly a
billion people who are eligible to vote
prime minister Narendra Modi is Seeking
a third term in office but with a
billion people it's not easy to keep
track of who voted and who hasn't so
India developed a special system it
involves purple ink CNN's Ivana scatola
has
more this purple Mark has become a
symbol of Indian elections it's painted
on with something called indelible ink
meaning it can't be removed easily the
Indian election commission has used this
practice for more than seven decades to
prevent fraud and duplicate votes when a
voter arrives at the booth the ink is
painted onto the left index finger
leaving
stain right from the prime minister to
the to the most common person everybody
flashes their fingers from celebrities
from film stars everybody that is a mark
of democracy although it's hard to
remove it does eventually wash off after
around two weeks depending on the
person's
skin what makes the ink last this long
is strictly confidential it's it's a
secret formula that hasn't changed since
1951 what we do know is that the
chemical compound silver nitrate is a
key ingredient when this formula comes
in contact with the uh sunlight it
reacts with the skin and the color
emerges the company Mya varnish and
paints has the exclusive rights to make
and distribute the liquid to polling
booths across the entire country this
year the company has prepared 2.7
million ink f
its largest order to date each vile
contains enough ink to Mark 700 photos
our ink is being used to Mark every
electar it is a very proud
[Applause]
